I am going to try explain my family drama, but thinking about it is just confusing and weird. Living in the middle of the desert where you only interact with animals and a small section of your immediate family drives you into a psychosis. My dad and step mom seem to have lost their perception of reality beyond their front door, making it difficult to... Read More
My family is trying to drive me crazy. Longer explanation to follow when I have the energy, but right now I just want to declare independence from them and never speak of them again.
My lower left wisdom tooth was sideways. I was given shots of Novocaine, then had to listen to and feel them break the tooth in to pieces so they could get it out. I should mention that I was terrified of needles at the time, and just the injections sent me into a panic attack. The next dentist couldn't believe they didn't knock me out.
Did another walk/jog, today! I've also been doing crunches and push-ups, though not very many. I figure I'll alternate jog/walking and crunches/push-ups with squats/leg exercises and possibly yoga/plyometrics. Perhaps this way I will get an all-around workout. I'm not quite ready to add the yoga, yet, as I need space to do it and I have to clear... Read More
So, I have a Johnson acoustic guitar that I bought about 10 years ago at a pawn shop in Fayetteville. She's a purdy blue thing with a cutaway and I'm sure she has a name that I can't remember at the moment. My boyfriend at the time taught me a few songs and how to play certain chords, but then we broke up the following... Read More
Keep playing until you're confident that spending the cash on a new one couldn't possibly be a waste. I'll bet you'll be glad you learned on a modest guitar. I have a friend who learned on a beat-up old guitar and he still keeps it around even though he's moved on to a better instrument.
I'd be happy to take a look at it at some point, if you like. I might be able to help a bit.
Definitely get a little humidifier for it. You can undo some of the warping by putting a little moisture back in the wood. Dampits are pretty cheap and work great, but you can make a suitable substitute with a film canister, a hole punch, and a piece of sponge. Just make sure to wring out the sponge and dry off the outside of the canister - you don't want water to actually drip onto the wood, as this will make things worse.
I was informed today (by coworkers) that our school does an Evening of the Arts (which I kind of knew about) and that sometimes teachers perform. I wanna!
Regarding the commute: no nuts to freeze off = no excuse. (In all honesty though, I haven't been biking recently, either...) Which school are you teaching at, btw? (I'm a DA alum.)
